Her board work includes serving on the board of the Reinvestment Fund, one of the largest community development financial institutions in the U.S. Her recent research includes work on a wide variety of affordable housing topics, from whether the Low Income Tax Credit contributes to increased economic and racial segregation, to whether the presence of housing voucher households contributes to neighborhood crime. Her primary research interests are at the intersection of poverty and space-the conditions and fortunes of poor neighborhoods and those who live in them.

Learn more about why we focus on small and midsize cities. The unaffordability of rental housing in these cities disproportionately affects people of color, who are more likely to be renters, and gaps in homeownership rates between white, Black and Latino households-already substantial in large cities-are even wider in small and midsize cities. But they are also less likely to benefit from the philanthropic and corporate support present in larger places, or have the necessary staffing, resources, and access to data, best practice or specialized expertise needed to develop and implement effective housing responses. Smaller cities can be more nimble and less encumbered by bureaucracy than their large city peers, and better able to engage higher levels of leadership, gain visibility for promising strategies, and build trust and engagement with the wider community. Small and midsize cities are ripe for innovation. While housing needs in larger and coastal cities receive the most national attention, small and midsize cities-those with populations between 50,000 and 500,000-face their own array of complex housing challenges-from disinvestment and concentrated poverty to housing instability and affordability gaps.
